Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7 |

amywood71605 User ID: 17193608 United States 02/26/2013 07:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok, Doc. That's it! I quit! Today has just totally sucked and I quit! Take away a person's coffee...REALLY...that's just WRONG! Quoting: Texan Buckeye Seriously, I don't know the details, but I have a feeling they have a good reason to strike. Without coffee... I dont wanna be on this planet my cigarette and my coffee... keeps my chin up... and give me hope... I dont ask for much in life... I just want my coffee and my cigarette... but yeah by the sounds the government is screwing them and giving them low wages "president says his government already pays growers subsidies of 60,000 pesos (£21; $33) for every 125 kilos of coffee and has said he will consider extending the benefit created last July." [link to www.bbc.co.uk] It takes a lot of work to get 125 kilos of coffee... a tree only produces about 7 pounds of beans a year... 125 kilos is 275 pounds... so it takes about 39 trees to get 33 bucks! "with more than half a million families reliant on the crop for their livelihoods. But last year's crop was its lowest for decades." [link to www.bbc.co.uk] so they not doing so well financially... I'm hurting for them... their livelihoods are at stake... and you know even with a good crop they arent making very much... i hope they reach a deal that helps them... but i want my coffee dammit! I agree, completely, although for me its a cappuccino and a cig. in the morning. I recently got a Keurig coffee maker for my hubby, and found cappuccino kcups - now I am actually savings $$ since I'm not buying a cup at the store every morning =) Anyway, I'd be a very unhappy person without one or the other! lol "Live each day like it's your last, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one is watching."

I drink enough coffee in a year to keep 10 families in Columbia employed You and me both! haha I try to quit all the time but its not possible lol In fact I'm having a cup right now :-) "Only one candle left to burn now, before the darkness comes" "Happiness consumes itself like a flame.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1597896 United States 02/26/2013 08:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My Wife is a little picky...ok...a LOT picky about her Sacred Brew. First she wouldn't drink it if it wasn't ground at the store("pre ground coffee tastes off, almost stale"). Then she tried 3 different grinders "to find right one". She went from drinking this French Roast Community-8'oclock-something-or-other to bulk whole bean to this Organic "Shade grown, Co-Op Farmed" Aztec coffee that is sold by the kilo for $19. Me? I'm ok with the local chains house brand of pre-ground. But....BUT......The best cup of coffee I have every day is my first cup from her pot of that Organic Dark Roast......I don't need it to live like she does but DAMN is it good ;-) |
_Obsidian_ User ID: 33642260 United States 02/26/2013 09:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You know something guys a way to save money on coffee and have it taste way better is to buy a coffee press or french press they have them at Starbucks for 20 dollars. I just bought one recently because my coffee pot seems to get too hot and gives the coffee a really nasty burnt taste. It was for the best though because I use less coffee probably half what I used to use in the coffee pot. Just my two cents :-) "Only one candle left to burn now, before the darkness comes" "Happiness consumes itself like a flame.
